  • I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"

    I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back up on an external hard drive when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"

    To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file.  Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty.  Note that I am running Windows 8.  Hope this helps!

  • The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission

    I downloaded iTunes 11.
    When I try to open it I get the message "The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission"
    My boot drive is a SSD.
    My iTunes library is stored on the main HD but I have not had this problem before.
    I have gone back to the iTunes folder and given full read and write permissions-still no luck. Rebooted
    Any thoughts?

    I actually was having problems with syncing of my iphone. It was suggested I get rid of this file. I took it from my itunes folder (unsure where it was. I just searched the folder) and put it on my desktop. When I plugged in tmy iPhone, it reappeared and my sync went fine. I am guessing you can do the same

  • How can I fix...The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked on a 8.1

    I can't open iTunes on a lenovo with a Windows 8.1 operating system. I get the following message...
    The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.
    PLEASE HELP!!

    Thanks! I have been having to open iTunes as an administrator for a year - never could find the answer. Now I am trying to link the account to Disney Movie Rewards and I needed it to open under menot administrator. I deleted the Extras file and then also needed to delete the Genius file. Once that was done it opened immediately.

  • HT1369 new version of itunes will not load getting info that itunes is not downloaded correctly

    have had itunes for several yrs attempted to download newest version but getting message that itunes is not downloaded correctly and new version will not download

    well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine  so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

    Is your itunes music library file in a locked folder?

  • TS1717 No matter hwere on my computer I download itunes to it gives me this message. 'The itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.' I do not understand as it was working fine last week.

    It is driving me mad. I tried uninstalling and redoing it. Still said it so I changed the location it downloaded to, same message.

    If Dave's tip doesn't do it for you then perhaps this is the one you need...
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administror privileges.

  • Restored iTunes folder from Time Machine, get error iTunes Library Extras.itdb file

    I restored my iTunes folder from a Time Machine backup (due to my kids deleting some playlists, which I wanted to recover).
    After that completed, I am unable to open iTunes, I get the error: "The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission."
    Now, when I was doing the restore, it paused twice to tell me something like: a particular song could not be transferred, since there was already a copy of it with the same name... and something about it being case insensitive. I selected OK each time that happened, made a note of the song thinking oh well I can just get a copy of that song again if I lose it.
    Any ideas? I looked at permissions for the iTunes folder, I have read and write permission.

    Chris, thanks for that suggestion. I would still like for my kids to access my iTunes music, but just don't want them to mess with the playlists etc.
    If I set up another account, then follow the instructions here -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
    ... to share the library with them, I'm guessing that they could still make changes to the playlists etc? (it doesn't specify in that article.)

  • You don't have permission to open this file.

    I'm trying to add an Entity Data Model to a Project in Visual Studio 2013.
    When I browse to the file to connect to it says
    "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner or administrator for permission."
    When I go back to SQL Management Studio and check the Server Roles assigned to my user name, I'm listed as a sysadmin.
    I clicked ALL the other server roles for good measure, but this does not help.
    When I installed SQL Server 2012 I created another user on my computer to serve as the SQL Server Services Account for SQL Server Agent and SQL Server Database Engine.
    I notice that this user shows up as the database owner for the database I'm trying to connect to, even though I was logged on using my user name when I created the database.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know much about Entity Data Model, but if you get an error about lack of permission for opening a file (what file?), SQL Server is probably not the right place to look for file permissions. SQL Server is about managing data in databases, not
    files in the file system. For file-permission errors, you need to look in Windows. Or try starting Visual Studio with "Run as Administrator".

  • TS1386 itunes will not launch in XP because: "itunes library.lit cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes"

    itunes will not launch in XP because: "itunes library.itl.cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes"
    Is this an apple problem or a computer problem? If I reinstall itunes will my library still be there?

    Uninstall and reinstall the Apple software.  See the following.  That link also has a link for Win7 and Vista.

    my iTunes will not recognize my iPhone after iTunes was updated. what does that mean?

    Hello mzshay2u2,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac.  First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.

  • I just purchased itunes but not all the songs in my library transferred to my second computer.  What can be done?, I just purchased itunes but not all the songs in my library transferred to my second computer.  What can be done?

    I just purchased itunes but not all the songs in my library transferred to my second computer.  What can be done?, I just purchased itunes but not all the songs in my library transferred to my second computer.  What can be done?

    I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. iTunes the software is a free download. Do you mean you bought a subscription to iTunes Match? If so, what do you mean that your music did not transfer to your second computer. Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible so we can better help you.
